very nice shot, i would also suggest improving the lighting a bit, maybe a highlight of the face, would make it stand out. just a thought.

Nice shot. Agree with everyone, lighting could be improved. Watch macro is indeed one of the hardest to do. A lot of times, the reflection from the glass kills the entire shot.

Thanks for all the comments, that really helps. About lighting what do you recommend? What kind of lights... Is there something i can build myself or is it more like studio lighting...

thanks

for a watch product shot, the hour/minute/second hands and all the little dials are usually carefully placed to accentuate the layout. i think traditionally it's at 10:10:30; but maybe different with a watch such as yours that has many little additional dials.
